  • Title: [Alloarthroplasty of the hip joint. Radiologic diagnosis of loosening and infection in cemented total endoprostheses].
    Author: Dihlmann W, Dihlmann SW, Hering L.
    Journal: Radiologe; 1991 Oct; 31(10):496-505. PubMed ID: 1956981.
    Abstract:
    Patients with problems following implantation of cemented total hip prostheses must be clinically examined. This examination is followed by a series of diagnostic imaging procedures. These include X-ray diagnosis, 3-phase 99mTc-MDP bone scans, scintigraphy for inflammation, and arthrography, performed singly or as sequential studies. X-ray findings and scintigraphic patterns arousing or confirming a suspicion of aseptic (mechanical) or septic (infectious) loosening of the prosthesis are evaluated and discussed.
